The adventures of a canine private eye while he confers with his animator who has his own problems to deal with.

Ace Hart is a private eye in Dog City, where all the characters are dogs, everyone is a wisecracker, and every canine pun ever thought of is used liberally. Most of his cases lead him to Bugsy, the Dogfather, and his hapless minions. Meanwhile, he discusses his cases and all manner of cartoon cliches with Elliott, his Muppet creator in the real world. As Elliott rushes to complete his stories through numerous distractions and within deadline, Ace regularly finds himself yanked between divergent storylines and impossibly-convenient plot threads.—Cynan Rees <[email protected]>

A rather bizarre show based on an episode of the Jim Henson Hour. Eliot Shag works animating a cartoon named "Ace Hart - Private Eye Dog". Ace Hart is Eliot's alter ego, and he often interacts with him, with Ace giving his take on how "his" show is shaping up. Everyday events that happen to Eliot usually find their way into the Ace Hart program he's working on at the time. The "Ace Hart" part of the show is animated, while the Eliot Shag part is done via puppetry.—alf <[email protected]>
